[Qt5-feedback] integrated remote control server system

[Thomas Ganshorn]

Just a request and/or idea.
 
i have many applications i need to remote control.
Easiest for now is using an html interface because every machine has an html
browser.
Something qt quick cannot solve.
 
So what i did was a simple hacked http server inside of qt exposing selected
objects and properties allowing custom websites to control the application or
presenting informations.
 
Regardless of the protocol (although http is really a must have)
i think in the modern connected world it is not uncommon to have a server
application and a remote gui.
 
So what i really would like would be a REAL platform independent and working
-> integrated mechanism to generate proxy QObjects over the network (on all
plattforms)
   for eg having a qml ui in another process on another machine.
   Probably a real client qml viewer would be also possible ... loading the qml
informations from the masterprocess
   creating locally the objetcs to talk to and have a remote talk with the
server app.
 
-> an integrated http server that allows at least exposing interfaces and custom
handling.
   An external http server is in many cases not even an option.
   May it because of installation, the additional ipc overhead, or probably just
forbidden by the client.
   (As stated i wrote already a hacked solution for this but ... it is only a
hack).  
 
So an integrated option to remote control applications with not too much
overhead in development and speed.
For our FlowLine system (just as an example) the 3d artists really loved the
ability to define parameters
that can be controlled externally on their ipad or see the state of the
fluidsimulaton on the farm.
It got a real time and moneysaver.
 
For other stuff like home automation it also makes perfect sense.
